"You trapped her in the house?" Stefan asked in surprise.
"It's for the best. Trust me. Elena is on a martyr tear that rivals your greatest hits. You should be glad the witch and I are even getting along," Damon held up the bag he walked in with, "I brought you guys this."
"Care package: candles, lanterns and…" Damon trailed off before showing a bottle of blood, "lunch."
"Give that to us and we're just gonna have to share it with her."
Damon looked over at Katherine who stood a few feet away, "Yeah…"
"You two are surprisingly calm, considering Klaus will hunt you down and kill you if you mess with his little plan," Katherine pointed out.
"I've been dead before. I got over it," Damon stated before facing Stefan and I, "Once we deal with this moonstone, we'll figure a way to get you out."
"Don't worry about us," I said, "Just make sure Elena's safe."
"Yeah, yeah…" Damon spoke and I turned to Stefan who nodded before walking away with Katherine trailing behind him like a lost puppy.
"How are you holding up?" Damon questioned.
"If I could chew my own eardrums out, I would," I said with a faux smile, "I'm holding up just fine. Makes sure everyone's priority is on the moonstone and nothing else."
Damon watched me for a moment before nodding, "Got it."
"Elena is safe?"
"Elena is safe," he reassured me.
"Okay, now go, go figure everything out and save my sister."
He exited the tomb and I made my way back into the cave.
"I'm surprised you left them alone," Katherine inquired, "I would have thought you would have stayed with how you feel about her after all."
"What are you talking about?" Stefan asked in exasperation.
"Oh it's so obv-" Snap.
Her body dropped to the floor with a satisfying thud and Stefan looked up at me.
"What?" I asked, "She was getting annoying. Plus, it's not like she's dead, dead. She'll be up soon enough."
He looked down at Katherine's body and sighed, "We should probably talk about it."
"Hmm?" I asked as I slid down the wall and sat, Stefan joining me a moment later.
"About what I know you remembered when you turned. You can barely look me in the eyes," he turned to look at me but my eyes remained trained on my hands.
"I know what I told you and you know what I told you," Stefan continued, not waiting for my response. "I shouldn't have said anything, the only reason I did was because I knew I could take it back. You were never supposed to become a vampire. You were never actually supposed to know."
I looked up at him, "And that's supposed to make it better? That I was never supposed to know? You can't just take people's memories away! That's just not how life works! You say something and you own up to it even if the outcome isn't what you want."
"I know."
"Obviously not," I shook my head and stood up, "And Elena! What about Elena?"
"I love her, I do, I swear. I never meant for any of this to happen."
"I meant what I said when I first met you, I will hurt you if you hurt her."
"I know you will."
